Everything to do with the USA's own Imperial Backyard. From hispanics to the originary peoples of the americas to the diasporas, South America to Central America, to the Caribbean to North America (yes, we're also there).

Post memes, art, articles, questions, anything you'd like as long as it's about Latin America. Try to tag your posts with the language used, check the tags used above for reference (and don't forget to put some lime and salt to it).

Here's a handy resource to understand some of the many, many colloquialisms we like to use across the region.

I see non-communist organisers in those movements often critiquing PSL's participation in them

So libs?

[–] Maoo@hexbear.net 3 points 5 months ago

Libs but also not just libs. And it's a common enough criticism that I think they must have a couple things backwards internally when it comes to coalition building and organizing competencies.

I can also vouch for this being an accurate criticism in my current location. I helped out with a recent action they organized and it was straight-up unsafe in a way that was easily preventable and they failed to have seemingly any plan for training people on what to do before, during, or after the action.

But don't forget that the left is small in the US and still learning. PSL can and likely will improve through experience and comrades here can be part of that.
